He reminded the opponents who are co -authors of insaculation to define charges, which now criticize.

In the Chamber of Deputies, the PAN Eva María Vázquez went up to a tribune with a transparent thombola, with which he mocked the selection methods and argued that the Judiciary will be controlled by “the cartel of the cartel viceroy Zaldívar ”.

Morenista deputy Leonel Godoy argued that the insaculation of applicants was a process public and transparent and was disclosed on social networks since Monday.
